Default help me diagnose my problem...

when i turn on my car, smoke white smoke comes out until u drive it for awhile...i know its burning coolent...last time i opened up the mani to see where i was leaking fluid from, and i saw coolent residue all in the runners and in the plenum...the only thing i could think of was the throttle gasket, so i changed it...it started recently smoking again...where else can it be leaking from?...im pretty sure its not the headgasket because compression still reads fine and there is no water in the oil...also turned it on with the rad cap off and no bubbles...is it possible that there mite be a crack or something in the mani?...using the skunk2 manifold

also will burning cooling mess with the a/f ratio?...still safe to drive correct?
